Wheelchairs

Qatar Airways provides on-board wheelchairs on all wide-bodied aircraft (A330, A340 and B777). Passengers' own wheelchairs are carried at no charge and do not count towards the baggage allowance.

Musical instruments

Fragile musical instruments may be carried in the cabin, but they will require the purchase of a ticket for the seat they occupy. The maximum weight allowed is 75 kg and maximum length is 120 cm.

Sports weapons and ammunition

Notification and clearance from the airline is required before transporting sports weapons and ammunition - as cargo or checked baggage - can be permitted. The appropriate import and export licenses must be presented to the airline prior to travel. Please ensure all weapons are unloaded, securely and appropriately packed. Sports ammunition (in divisions 1.4S, UN 0012 or UN 0014 only) is limited to a maximum of 5 kg per passenger.
